Abstract

We propose a system for free-viewpoint facial re-enactment from a casual video capture of a target subject. Our system can render and re-enact the subject consistently in all the captured views. Furthermore, our system also enables interactive free-viewpoint facial re-enactment of the target from novel views. The re-enactment of the target subject is driven by an expression sequence of a source subject, which is captured using a custom app running on an iPhone X. Our system handles large pose variations in the target subject while keeping the re-enactment consistent. We demonstrate the efficacy of our system by showing various applications.
